Yes, I would like to do some disassembly but I don't have the proper tools right now. I would appreciate if you could point me toward this software you mentioned if you can rememb…

Use crazy glue and stick the ripped off pad back to the board, let dry. Put a small drop of flux in the crack between the traces and solder a bridge, then solder the capacitor to t…

Well im not sure what the problem is, I think you should throw it in the garbage tonight.

There is no point to downclocking the CPU - the G3 upgrade is independant of the existing CPU itself (that is, it is not used), nor are you going to "cook" the existing 601 CPU (it…

Thanks for helping me with this, I'd like to get to the bottom. I've reinstalled the OS (9.2) several times, with no avail. Last time I completely reformatted it and preformed a c…

Dennis, I think it looks great! That's a nice mod. Useful too, if you start modifying the ROM code. Are you thinking about doing any disassembly? I ran across mention of a dis…

After a complete reformat and reinstall of OS 9.2.2, it still won't launch Stuffit Expander (type 3 error.. save work & restart) and it won't let me open some system files …

Luckily, Apple derived a solution to this when it created 32-bit QuickDraw, and it is quite simple. Every time 32-bit QuickDraw access VRAM in the slot space, it uses a trap (SwapM…

Anyone still have any ideas why this Mac won't open applications? After a complete reformat and reinstall of OS 9.2.2, it still won't launch Stuffit Expander (type 3 error.. save w…

My keyboard works fine the only problem is that it is stiffer than hickory wood! { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previo…

just scrape some soldermask off of the trace with a knife and be careful

Well, I tried recapping and, of course, one of the pads came off. I now have three useless LC motherboards. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", …

Glad to hear you finally got the beast up and running. Click to expand... Well, I didn't get to enjoy it for long. I packed it all up and got it shipped off to the "storage fac…

Glad to hear you finally got the beast up and running. The last time Rufus the cat caught an early morning mouse, he left the severed head on the floor in my room for my eve…

Touch Screen or button Interface? Multiple sound inputs/outputs? :?:

I can assure you, macmetex is most definitely NOT Steve Landon. I have traded with macmetex on multiple occasions, and he is a helpful, friendly, stand-up guy by the name of Rober…

Separate sync? Or just an alternative plug for the same video output?

Because the extension improves performance greatly, enabling all the optimizations available. When I boot with my Sonnet G3 400 MHz in an 8500 without any extensions, everything ru…

I haven't been able to check the lone parts LC that I have; sorry. But maybe the motherboard caps leaked while it was in the box. It's certainly possible, given the age of the …

LUCKY! :O :O The Goodwill here has few computer-related things most of the time, but there was one time where I went there, and they had probably 20-30 computers in total. Onl…

Sound and an external Graphics Output System, TTL or CGA, would make a world of sense Click to expand... Why sound though? If it were specifically for an external graphics disp…

I had a thought about this in the shower yesterday! My buddies at Tekserve got their start in Macs by building the (Mac controlled) Directory Systems for the Rockefeller Center (y…

74hct161 Click to expand... binary counter, counting is very important when fabricating a video signal from a computer

There are close to 40 ICs on that board. An NTSC or PAL conversion board typically has three logic chips. There's a bank of eight pc74hct161p (MOSFETs?) and an unidentified bank of…
